Northwestern vs. BC honors

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>I have narrowed down my acceptances to two choices: Boston College and Northwestern.
I want to go into biology and pursue a PhD following graduation</p>

<p>I have gotten about the same financial aid from the two schools, so that isn't really a factor in this decision.</p>

<p>I was accepted into the honors program at BC, which is appealing to me, and it is a lot closer to home, which makes me feel more comfortable. I also really like Boston, and I have grown up in a family that loves BC sports, though neither of my parents went there.</p>

<p>However, I feel like Northwestern has a much stronger reputation in the sciences and a lot more research opportunities for undergraduates. I also love Chicago, and I feel like I felt more of a connection with Northwestern.</p>

<p>I was hoping to get some input on this decision. I will be visiting Northwestern for an overnight later this month, and I am trying to schedule an overnight at BC as well.</p>

<p>That quote, especially after the context of growing up in a BC sports household, should be your answer.</p>

<p>Go where you are more comfortable. You must have done well because the BC Honors program is probably harder to get into than Northwestern…Your parents must be happy that BC won another NCAA Hockey National Championship yesterday. Thats like 4 in 11 years…Good luck.</p>
